electrostats
in (b) shouldnt E be non uniform and we're not given 2a<<x..idk can someone explain this ques..im just really confused in dipoles

Note for OP
+solved @user1 @user2...
to close the thread when your doubt is solved. Mention the users who helped you solve the doubt. This will be added to their stats.x is the dist between dipole and wire
lets first get ur concept clear in dipoles
till then ill examine the ques
lemme send a link
we got bua ji explaining physics before GTA6 π
kk thanks
i know electro stats ery nicly

Tbf, even my concept isn't clear regarding dipoles. They're a weird thing.
damn
I think I'll go through Griffiths one more time.
idk dipole is easy to me
for the first part ill send a derivation tht will help u understand better
damn u got seperate books for diff topics π
i just refer to rahul sardana
Ye. But Griffiths is honestly over the top. I like the hardcore maths explanations because they make a lot of sense to me.
The intuition doesn't easily get across
ahh true true
for first que look at the derivation uderstand tht first

and then try to apply it
i know this but idk what to do afterwards
electric field will be diff on the 2 charges right
no since its dipole just directly apply the formula in this derivation
wait lemme send you how i did
see even if not given we usually take x >> 2a
accha
because it is unifromly charged
tht one u can also think of
wait even if 2a is not <<x then b part would hv been same
?
how show me the calc
let me try that part too
no i was just wondering π
na naa physics with intutiions is bad always do a rough calc
cuz potential energy state function hai and electic field conservative hai
vo sab ik but use formula
yeah ig π
see the formula w = -pe(costheta2 - costheta1 )
u can technically use tht
and put value of E in it

@Augustine
look from w part
up was me doing some calc on things
ohkk thanks
also i just realized we derived work from integral of torque*d(theta) and torque will vary if electric field is non uniform so if 2a is comparable to x then we cant do it this way right
You use griffiths holy aura
In Dipoles we always use x>>>>>a
Or else both formula for equator and axial will become lengthy
Sahi bol rhin h seph go for ncert only π jb tk boards k liye 20 baar ratte nhin maar liyen then for both electric and magnetic dipole tbtk dimag m kch khaas nhin fit hua tha...abhi bhi bhula jaten h torque of a dipole TvT
I'm done with boards, thankfully
Also, screw NCERT
Us vro us
Worst book for theory
π
Bs dipole wala concept mera kaafi uda hua tha toh uska baar baar derivation dekh or yaad krke dimag m fit hua thora
chalo finally abj sir se dekh kar samajh aa gya
gotta love him π©·
please mark the doubt as solved
